Forever Sixteen

Happy birthday, mader! 😘 Sana kahit pano we were able to make you feel loved on your special day.

Anime Screencaps : Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

I was on the lookout for this series since I've known about it from Anime IG feeds I follow.


I was so engrossed with the story I resisted taking screencaps and gave in only after about 3/4 already.


First look at our Kabaneri


When Mumei means business


Frenemies? ^^

Major spoiler alert!




Heartbreaking scene. Sunset colors and all!


Transformation after the black blood.


From the opening theme

Paint. Sip. Laugh

I came across an article on High-Pressure parents and tried to evaluate myself if I have become one.   Two years ago, I already took a couple of step back in terms of monitoring D's school homework and stuff.  I trust that ever since she started schooling, we have already imparted with her essential study skills to be able to perform well.  I have always believed in making the whole learning process fun for my daughter.

High grades are great but I prefer a balance between academics and non-academics.  And of course, whatever would make my daughter be a happier child.

Happy artist-wanna be

 And since we've already covered swimming for her physical activities, I was searching for something that would unleash her creativity side for the weekend.  I had to cancel our initial reservations with Sip & Gogh weeks ago and resolved to make it happen this month.  And so we did, yey!

Almost done!

Drinks and snacks included

Now where to hang?

City of Pines

Planned more than a year ago, this trip is long over due.

It has been a tradition between O and I to be together and celebrate her birthday. If not on the exact date at least on her birth month. It's one of those events I try to compromise with hubby and D because it'll mean a day away from them.

Highlight of the trip: Lomo Ribs at Canto and VVIP Acoustic Jams at Duyan's.

I swear there were times it seemed like we were teleported back in college, living our carefree-student lives. I did try to have as much fun as possible despite missing home. Guilty pleasure, indeed.

Happiness is not a sustainable condition.

I loved that I was able to learn a bit about the thought process of a graphic artist. Of a projection of a picture of a pipe with words that is not a pipe. And that the gap between two panels is the connection of the artist and the reader.

Truly an awesome, heart-warming flick.

Balang araw...

Had a delectable late lunch with mudra.

And a sinedate with M #CampWagi

We were discussing the rationale behind us, married ladies, wanting to watch the local chick flick. I don't have an answer, sorry to disappoint. I have to say though, I really felt their pain and was able to empathize with the main characters.

Also, the hilarious drunk scenes made me miss drinking like a fish.

Basta, balang araw.

We had pizza after a quick visit from her pedia. She have to take some antibiotics and decongestant to address the discomfort from her right ear.
